Pierce the veil

from left to right:Jaime, Mike, Vic, Tony
My favorite band would have to be Pierce the veil (and I say this while listening to Besitos, one of my favorite songs). They were formed in San Diego, California under the name Early times in 1998. Later in 2006 they changed their name to Pierce the veil, and that name has stuck around until today. The band was founded by brothers Mike (Michael) and Vic (Victor) Fuentes. When the Early times disbanded guitarist Joe Tancil and bassist Mitchell Ballatore left the band, Tony Perry (guitar) and Jaime Preciado (bass) replaced them, and the bands name was changed to Pierce the veil. Mike and Vic were also part of the supergroup Isles and glaciers with vocals of Craig Owens from the band D.R.U.G.S, Jonny Craig from the band dance Gavin dance, but on March 9, 2010 the super group broke up stating it was a one time thing. Pierce the veil released their second album on June 21, 2010 titled Selfish machines. Vic stated that they used this title because its a lot like human nature and humans have animal-like qualities that we should learn how to accept, we are selfish machines and have natural tendencies to want, to love, and finally take.
